Most of these systems are so far behind any real understanding of your words, though. They behave like Text-to-Speech followed by a Google Search, whether that's how they're implemented or not.

It's a big, supersized information retrieval system that hashes all your n-grams with a few hundred thousand special cases tacked on.
